{wiki=Laplace_equation_for_irrotational_flow}
In fluid dynamics, the Laplace equation is often applied in the context of irrotational flow, which is characterized by the absence of vorticity. For an incompressible, irrotational flow, the flow velocity can be described with a potential function, commonly denoted as \\( \\phi \\).
